Ankara, October 15 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that the ceasefire agreement reached in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, should not be mistaken for a final settlement of the Palestinian issue. He also called on Israel to fulfill its obligations and warned against possible violations.

"It would be wrong to view this as a document that resolves the Palestinian issue. Essentially, it's a ceasefire agreement," he told reporters upon his return from Egypt.

He added that the only "genuine solution" to the Palestinian issue is the creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

On Monday, R.T. Erdogan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, US President Donald Trump and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani signed a document in support of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

"These signatures are not just symbolic – they signify our commitment to peace as part of history," the semi-official Anadolu news agency quoted the Turkish president as saying.

He called on Israel to fulfill its obligations under the agreement.

"Israel has a bad record of violating the ceasefire. This situation forces us to be more vigilant and meticulous," he said, adding that Turkey, the United States, and other countries are committed to working to maintain the ceasefire.
